Sites are SEO-ready, fast-loading, and designed to convert visitors into customers. ## What do you get with professional websites? Your 24/7 salesperson. Custom-built, mobile-first, integrated with your stock and finance systems, ready to be found on Google and quoted by ChatGPT — and you own it forever. - Built in weeks, not months - Mobile-first responsive design - E-commerce and custom platforms (NEW) - Stripe, Apple Pay & Google Pay one-tap checkout (NEW) - SEO-ready from launch - Hosting & maintenance included - Found by ChatGPT & Google AI (NEW) - High-converting lead capture forms that turn visitors into enquiries (NEW) - Instant WhatsApp & SMS lead alerts straight to your phone (NEW) ## Who is professional websites for? We work with owner-managed Irish businesses, professional practices and mid-market organisations. Professional Websites suits you if the current setup is costing you enquiries, staff hours or credibility — and if you would rather own the result outright than rent it from a platform. If a smaller piece of work would move the needle faster, we say so before quoting anything larger. ## Which professional websites package is right for you? There are 6 options on this service, separated by scope rather than by quality of work. Brochure Website (plus ), Business Site (plus ), Premium Site (plus ), E-commerce Site (plus ), Elite Business Site (plus ), Authority (Custom). Each package page sets out precisely what is included, what is not, and how long delivery takes, so you can compare like with like before you speak to anyone. - Brochure Website — A professional, animated brochure website that makes your business look great and gets you found online. - Business Site — A high-converting multi-page website with content, SEO, and lead capture — your 24/7 salesperson. - Premium Site — A powerful, feature-rich website with custom integrations, e-commerce, booking and full AI-search domination. - E-commerce Site — A full online shop — Stripe / WooCommerce, unlimited products, secure checkout and built to sell while you sleep. - Elite Business Site — The flagship build — 30+ pages, multi-language, full ecommerce, search intelligence and comprehensive AI-search visibility. - Authority — Custom-scoped engagements for market leaders. ## How does a professional websites project run? A short scoping call comes first, then a written scope with a fixed price, a staged build with weekly check-ins, and a handover where you receive the accounts, the assets and the source. Payment is 50% deposit and 50% on launch, or 40/30/30 on larger builds. Most work runs remotely, which keeps the cost down, and we travel to meet clients across Ireland where it genuinely helps. ## What does professional websites cost?

Digital Bridge prices openly: Brochure Growth Authority E-commerce ## How long does it take to build a website in Ireland? A standard brochure website takes 1–2 weeks once content is supplied. A multi-page Growth site takes 2–3 weeks, Authority builds 3–5 weeks, and e-commerce or custom platforms 6–10 weeks. Timelines assume timely content and feedback from the client. ## Do you build mobile-friendly websites? Every Digital Bridge website is mobile-first, responsive, and tested on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and tablet breakpoints. Google indexes the mobile version of your site, so we build for mobile and scale up — not the other way around. ## What happens if professional websites does not suit us? Then we tell you, and we do not take the project. We would rather turn down work than sell a business something it does not need. Where a different supplier or a cheaper in-house route is the honest answer, we say so on the scoping call. Nothing is invoiced before a written scope is signed, and the scope sets out exactly what is delivered, in what order, and by when. ## Who does the work?

Each tier adds real scope, not just polish. Brochure Website, is five to seven pages built to look professional and get found on Google. Business Site, adds up to eight pages, a blog, lead capture forms and fuller SEO. Premium Site, brings booking or an online shop, an owner dashboard for edits without a developer, and wider AI-search work. E-commerce Site, is a dedicated online shop with unlimited products and secure checkout. Elite Business Site, is the flagship build with 30 or more pages, multiple languages and full ecommerce together. Authority is custom-scoped for market leaders needing bespoke dashboards, integrations or multi-county coverage, typically Every tier includes hosting, SSL and the technical foundations that let Google and AI assistants actually read the site properly. ## Do we have to sign up for the monthly Care plan on every tier? No. Every tier is priced with a one-time setup cost and an optional monthly retainer, and you can pay the setup only and walk away with a site you own outright, no ongoing contract attached. The monthly plan covers hosting, backups, security monitoring and small content edits, and it exists because most business owners would rather not deal with a hosting renewal or a broken plugin themselves. If you decline it, the site still works, you simply take on responsibility for hosting and updates yourself, or come back to us for one-off work as needed. Whichever route you choose, the code and content belong to you rather than being locked into a platform you would need us to unlock. ## Which professional website tier is right for my business? We build four main website tiers, starting with a brochure site for businesses that need a clean, credible online presence with core pages and contact details, right up through Growth, Authority and fully custom ecommerce builds for businesses selling products online. The right tier depends on how many pages you need, whether you need blog or content sections, how much custom design work matters to your brand, and whether you are selling online at all. Every tier includes mobile-responsive design and is built to load quickly and rank properly on Google, but the level of custom design, page count, and additional features like booking systems or advanced integrations scales with the tier. None of our website builds include ongoing content writing or SEO campaign management as standard — those are separate services you can add. A common pitfall businesses hit is choosing the cheapest tier and then asking for features that only exist further up the ladder, which causes delays and extra cost mid-project. Telling us your full requirements upfront, including future plans, lets us recommend the right starting tier the first time. ## What is the typical timeline from first call to a live website? Timelines vary by tier, but the general process is consistent: an initial consultation to understand your business and goals, a proposal confirming scope and price, then design, build, review rounds and launch. Smaller brochure sites can be live within a couple of weeks, while larger Authority-tier or ecommerce builds naturally take longer due to the extra pages, integrations and content involved. Throughout the build you will see draft versions and have the chance to request changes before anything goes live, and we handle the technical setup including hosting configuration and basic on-page SEO foundations. What is not included as standard on any tier: stock photography licensing fees, third-party subscription costs such as booking or payment platforms, or content writing beyond what is agreed in the proposal. This process suits businesses ready to commit to a clear brief, but it does not work well for clients who want to keep changing direction mid-build without expecting it to affect timeline or The most common delay we see is slow client feedback on review rounds, not the build work itself. ## Evidence - Verdé Environmental Group — 24/7 AI incident triage with severity classification, Eircode geolocation and four-depot dispatch routing → https://digitalbridge.ie/industries - tools.digitalbridge.ie — 50+ shipped production tools, including the Website Worth Index and the DigitalBridge Authority Score - Printhouse — custom web-to-print platform with 29+ product pages → https://printhouse.ie ## How delivery is de-risked - Seven-day shadow-mode pilot before any system takes live traffic. - Full source-code and prompt ownership transfers on final payment. - EU-hosted infrastructure, provider training disabled, signed data processing agreement. - Fixed price against a signed scope — no hourly meter and no open-ended exposure. ## FAQ ### How much does a small business website cost in Ireland?
